MY DADDY
TOLD ME STORIES
ABOUT HOW THIS
COUNTRY WAS
WHEN HE WAS JUST A KID
HOW PEOPLE TOOK
THE TIME TO CARE
AND TOOK A LOT
OF PRIDE IN THE THINGS
THEY DID
AND I CAN'T HELP
BUT WONDER
WHAT HAPPENED
TO THAT SPIRIT
DOWN THROUGH
THE YEARS
IS IT SOMETHIN'
WE'VE FORGOTTEN
OR SOMETHIN'
THAT WE JUST
DON'T WANT TO HEAR
IT'S A SIGN OF THE TIMES
WE'RE IN
WHEN WE CAN'T
FIND THE TIME
TO HELP A FRIEND
OR SHOW A
LITTLE MORE
COMPASSION TO
THE PROBLEMS
IN EACH OTHER'S LIVES
WE'RE MORE
CONCERNED WITH
MAKIN' MONEY
THAN STAYIN' HOME
LOVIN' OUR FAMILY
AND I WISH I
COULD CHANGE
THE THINGS I SEE
IN THE SIGNS
OF THE TIMES
8 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
IF YOU NEED TO
BORROW MONEY NOW
THEY WANT TO KNOW
HOW MANY ASSETS
YOU CAN CLAIM
IT'S NOT LIKE IT WAS
BACK YEARS AGO
WHEN GRANPA
BORROWED MONEY
SIMPLY ON HIS NAME
AND IT SURE DOES
SEEM A PITY
BUT A MAN'S WORD
DON'T COUNT FOR MUCH
HERE ANYMORE
I WISH I
COULD TURN
THE CLOCK BACK TO
THE WAY
MY DADDY SAID
IT WAS BEFORE
IT'S A SIGN OF THE TIMES
WE'RE IN
WHEN WE CAN'T
FIND THE TIME
TO HELP A FRIEND
OR SHOW A
LITTLE MORE
COMPASSION TO
THE PROBLEMS
IN EACH OTHER'S LIVES
WE'RE MORE
CONCERNED WITH
MAKIN' MONEY
THAN STAYIN' HOME
LOVIN' OUR FAMILY
AND I WISH I
COULD CHANGE
THE THINGS I SEE
IN THE SIGNS
OF THE TIMES
IT'S A SIGN OF THE TIMES
WE'RE IN
WHEN WE CAN'T
FIND THE TIME
TO HELP A FRIEND
OR SHOW A
LITTLE MORE
COMPASSION TO
THE PROBLEMS IN
EACH OTHER'S LIVES
WE'RE MORE
CONCERNED WITH
MAKIN' MONEY
THAN STAYIN' HOME
LOVIN' OUR FAMILY
AND I WISH I
COULD CHANGE
THE THINGS I SEE
IN THE SIGNS
OF THE TIMES
AND I WISH I
COULD CHANGE
THE THINGS I SEE
IN THE SIGNS
